uuuuh ohhhh..... ....me again!! Most of what I have posted here so far has been of dream content. I am a firm believer in the types of dreams that I have....they (and....it's not like I have these kinds on a nightly basis either....I go thru phases)....are much different than a normal, every day kind of dream. These particular dreams pack a heavy punch and the effects of them never go away. I like this place here....because I can talk about them.....and it seems like many people here can relate to what I am going thru.....and not be laughing their butts off at me!!
I've spent some time here tonight reading thru several posts from everyone......in different topics....and there is just something that I want to say.....almost like I feel I am putting some minds at ease with what I want to share.......thru the dreams that I have, I have seen Heaven from a distance and also at close up.....in fact, I have been right at the edge of crossing into Heaven...one more step forward and I would have entered in. I have also experienced death.
And the point of what I want to say is: we people here on this earth....lead a very dull and senseless life here.....and 'senseless' as in 'our 5 (6) senses'. Life here is like a really appetizing meal 'without' any spices or flavour. 'On the Other Side'....if that is what I should call it......after death.....it's like our senses have been turned on for the first time ever. The 'colors' in everything that we see there.....is so far more superior than even PIXTAR.....bright, rich...full body color. Let me tell you...color is beautiful there. And the mulitudes of shade variants......you will never see anything like that here.  (...no...I am not on drugs!!! I've never used drugs in my life...... .....i don't think I need them!!!   8)  ) Every one of our senses are incredibly heightened....it's awesome. The Bible tells us that Heaven is beautiful.....and it really is. The only way that I can try to convey the difference between here and there is by just saying: bland vrs. extraordinary flavour.....you will all see for yourself one day. It's no wonder that people who have had near death experiences, don't want to come back here....some are even forced to come back.
I also want to say, that we don't have a physical body up there....or over there...which ever way that you want to put it. We feel like we have a physical body....but we don't. We don't have mass...or substance. We 'think' just in the same way as we do here.....we carry with us the wisdom that we gained here....but at the same time, we are also still able to learn more over there. We communicate by telepathic means there....we don't walk or run.....we are able to move about in a way that is like floating....moving without actually the walking movement.....make any sense?   ???
Sometimes we can even get around like an instaneous thing.....in a different place instantly. It's weird....but it's gonna be fun when I  get there and can stick around for awhile!! Who needs a jet pack!!! We still can see our loved ones here, our friends.....can mingle with them.....and if you can learn 'how to'...you can communicate with them too. We feel all the same emotions there as we do here....we can even worry too.....I know that one...I experienced that one for myself. Cuz when I went thru my own death experience via a dream, I was so worried about how my 2 daughters were going to be when they were told that their mom had died.....I even went to their bedrooms and sat on their beds and tried to forewarn them that I had died and that they would be ok no matter what and that I was still with them even tho I wasn't actually there in the physical being.
There are alot of things that I am still trying to learn about the afterlife......that is why I came to this site......but there are a few things that I already know....and this is just one of them. We have an awesome set of senses up there!!! Oh.....and did I mention 'details'?????? You're all gonna love the details that go into what you see and feel and in general, 'experience' up there!!! Move over 'HOLLYWOOD' productions......because there is no way that the human imagination could ever depict onto film the kind of detail that you will see in the true and very real, afterlife.

Hi, mystic_dreamer,

Yes, a very nice posting!
After reading your "we people here on this earth....lead a very dull and senseless life here....", it got me to thinking why on earth (excuse the pun) would any spirit in the Afterlife wish to (re)incarnate  here in the physical to learn more lessons and advance spiritually, when it would seem utter bliss lies There?
To my mind it would seem like a retrograde step from what it is capable of achieving in the Afterlife. Do we not all strive to improve our lives, live happily and do the best we can for all mankind, so why return to a "...very dull and senseless life...." time after time?
I know - it`s to experience so we can learn more lessons. So, why can`t those lessons be learnt There?

Also, who in their right mind would wish to (re)incarnate as a murderer, rapist, child molester, etc., etc? What lessons can be learnt from that?
Does it also mean that we ALL (re)incarnate at some time to do these foul deeds? If not, why just a small minority of the worlds population, and would any spirit really wish for this?

I know what I will do when I finally arrive there. Stay! Especially as this world seems to go from bad to worse. Not too many lessons appear to be learned along the way.

best wishes to all,
roger  

Hey Lou.....you are very welcome!! I am glad that you enjoyed what I wrote on what our senses are like in the afterlife. You are right....I am very sure of what I believe on this....I couldn't be more sure of myself about anything! When I mentioned that I had stood on the edge of Heaven....and that one more step forward would have taken me over the threshold.....that dream had begun with me attempting to cross a road and just as I had started to cross the road, I was run over by a semi tractor trailer rig. I fell to the road and my head hit the pavement really hard. It really hurt! I felt my spirit begin to leave my body and I looked back at my lifeless body laying there as I left it. I was accompanied by another spirit, who I don't know who it was. This spirit took me over to a wood bridge on the edge of a forest. It was one of those really neat old bridges with a wooden roof, or canopy over top...it crossed over a small creek. We crossed over the bridge which opened up to a beautiful meadow, decorated in the most beautiful shades of color in floral color....smells of the most wonderful fragrences...the grass under my feet was the deepest, richest shades of green....and felt so wonderfully cool on my feet. The grass was dotted with such pretty, delicate colorful flower buds.....flowers that you will never see here on earth. The sky was a beautiful blue color.....not a cloud to be seen...and the sun was truely the most beautiful colors of yellow and orange.....and let me tell you, the warmth from that sun warmed every inch of my body, both inside and out. The warmth was absorbed by every sense of your soul. I was aware of my 'body' that was left to lay on the road back there.....but I didn't care!! I felt no pain where I was now....I had never felt so 'alive'. This spirit led me to the edge of a lake.....the lake was surrounded by the tallest and greenest trees that I had ever seen!! I will never forget the color of the lake water....because it was the bluest of blues......a deep, rich shade of royal blue......the were sparkles coming off the lake.......like carbonated water!!! It was awesome!!! Sparkles everywhere!!! Coming up off the lake. I stood there with this spirit.....looking out across the lake.....I knew that what lay on the other side of this lake, was Heaven.....all I needed to do was take one more step...and I would be there. There was absolutely no communication between myself and this spirit....but I still knew 'everything'.....I just knew it all......only, I don't know why I wasn't allowed to continue on that journey into Heaven. I was only allowed to have that glimspe from the edge....I knew that I had to go back to my body, where I left it in the wrecked position before taking this short journey....I didn't want to go back to it.....I didn't want to go back to the painful state that it was in....and I didn't want to come back to this life here......why would I want too??? I felt so good just where I was!! It was beautiful....painfree...peaceful....blamo. I was back in 'my body' again.....aghhhh. The pain...the pressure....the weight of the world on my shoulders..such a heavy feeling of burden over my entire mind and body......aghh...life here!!
I told one of my sisters' about this dream a few days later.....I wanted to know what she thought of it. At that time, I had been going thru a phase where I was experiencing alot of different things with respect to my soul...the afterlife and such...and I had no idea what all these experiences meant. I asked my sister......a very stiff, starchy Baptist, she is!! Generally, she had been condemning me over other experiences that I had been having...telling me that it was all the work of the devil....so, I was very surprised to see the look of absolute awe on her face when I described this dream to her. She told me that the lake that I had dreamed of, was 'the Crystal Lake', which is talked about in the Bible.
She still tells me that I am evil....she says that no one is supposed to have these experiences in this life......she tells me that they are phoney, tricks, brought on by evil forces.......ok whatever sister!!
At any rate Lou.....I do believe what I have seen of the afterlife.....and I am glad that I have made your day brighter!!

Thanks for sharing those dreams.  I have had some meaningful dreams also, and trips on meditations.  Only one opinion that i would like to give, based on my own experiences, and some of the contents of my subconscious, and that is that i don't think of our hard knocks here are lessons.  I think that they are more just experiences.  I mean, you can read about roller coaster rides, or death for that matter, but you only really get the full impact when you actually go through it.  In this vien, i liked your following statement:   Quote:

Hi Marilyn! I just remembered what the topic of that report was that I mentioned back in college. We were supposed to write about our :  frame of reference.
I have never been a simple writter....and I do love to write. When I wrote my paper on that, I went way overboard as usual   .....a 26 pager!!!! I talked about things in that paper that I wouldn't have dared talk to anyone about......which was mainly about all this spiritual awakening I was going thru. I was so surprised at her response!!! She told me that I was 'special'....and that I could teach people alot with what I had already learned.
I'm happy to hear that you enjoy reading all my babble!!!! There will be more too!!!!   ....so...be prepared!!!!
Sandy

Sandy,

Thanks so much for your description of your glimpse of heaven.  The clarity must have been breathtaking. 

I have experienced occasional brief sequences of amazing, stunning details in dreams so I can imagine what it must have been like for you.  How happy you must be that you know it is there for you.

love, blink

OK...thank you MS!!! I will try to find it!!

Could it be that choices to re - incarnate (a huge subject in itself) are regulated and limited by our current Spiritual gradings?
We can only express what we have earned, or try to reach out to?

Hi Brendan,

Actually I think we are the "Captain of our own ship" both here and there because we always have the freedom of choice.  You don't have to buckle up if you don't want to... you still have a choice. 

All choices have consequences no matter if we consider them good or bad consequences.  Lots of people feel oppressed by the rules of this world, but they really don't need to.  In everything there is always a choice and once that's realized, one can attain a great sense of freedom.  Right here and now.

Love and light,
Kathy

*****************
Has anyone ever thought maybe reincarnation might only be for those deviants?...maybe that's what hell really is...to have to come back here because they didn't get it right the first time.
*****************
Or for people like myself, who have a low boredom
threshold and wish to "make themselves in their
own image..."
Complete Perfection would get perfectly tiresome
after a while, right?
Maybe that's why the material plane exists.
Maybe the "successful people", "beautiful people" the "alphas" and so forth are those who have become ADEPT at physical existence, possibly through many incarnations here..!
So much of what I see people writing here amounts to, "Oh,
this world is so awful, I want to go to 'Heaven' and stay there forever." But the fact remains, that this world is a WONDERFUL place for SOME people. Sadly, these people are often branded as "sinners" by the sufferers in this world and are expected to "rot in hell" after they die... Organized religions (notably Christianity and Islam) seem to revolve around this envy-driven prejudice.
But... doesn't that seem like... well, SOUR GRAPES, really?
Maybe such people should be trying to sharpen themselves up for the next time they get the urge to "go 'round again." Because I'm sure that even if it takes a nonillion (10 to the 27th power!!!) years of "Heaven" to thoroughly BORE them, it will happen to them eventually...
NOTHING remains static forever... that may be the only real law there is!
Do people even try to imagine what "forever" really means? Sometimes, I doubt it.
